Book description
Joseph resisted the seductive advances of his master's wife; David gave in to temptation and had an adulterous affair with Bathsheba. Author Bob Reccord observes that both men had human limitations, but Joseph recognized his weakness while David overestimated his strengths.
"They'd Said It Was Impossible; This Ship Was Unsinkable. And so it was on the night of April 14, 1912, that the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic in the frigid black of night, the victim of a giant iceberg hidden beneath the surface. The unsinkable luxury liner had lost a battle with its enemy below the waterline... I find that too many marriages are like the Titanic. Struck by dangers lurking beneath the surface." -- Bob Reccord

Book description
Joy and pain are both aspects of the call of God for the Christian. The Bible even presents pain as a trigger for joy. The Call to Joy and Pain explores how this is so, showing the connection between rejoicing and suffering, how suffering draws us nearer to God, and how suffering makes us more effective in service.
Ministerial veteran Ajith Fernando combines biblical exposition, keen pastoral insight, and cross-cultural wisdom in his writing. He opens readers eyes to a truth they may already suspect, we in the West have much to learn about suffering.
